    The betting line has been dropping from Houston -3 yesterday to -2 early in the morning today to -1.5 now. Hmmmm.....

    Ran him into the ground.

    More OKC players will start breaking down as series goes on, they are not accustomed to playing at Rockets crazy pace. 1 or 2 games maybe, after that they will be playing on fumes.

    If Russ comes back for game 3 or even 4, Thunder will be crawling up and down court.

    LOL

    Those guys have scurried for cover. But they will be back pushing their BS narratives when things go bad.

    OKC is desperate for a Harden stopper.

    Hopefully we dont "need" him to score 25, but sure would be nice to see him get out of his slump after his 41 pts

    I think I'd rather see EGo or Covington break out of their 3pt slumps

    Or another Point Center like 7'0 Dragan Bender.

    Bender is just not as good a switch defender as Luc. When Luc was 100% of course.

    But Bender much better skills fit than Harty.

    Guy already has a flat tire.

    Rockets pace is going to wreck him.

    OKC just do not have an answer for Rockets, too many 1 dimensional players on their team.

    Playing more shooters is code for playing shitty defenders.

    Playing non-shooters is code for playing good defenders.

    OKC lingo 101. They are Fukked no matter what they do!

    sounds like Doris did the first game, so at least that's a plus

    Think Harden worried about Lu Dort?
